“…This depends on the effects of the temperature on the solubility of the feed components, viscosity, diffusivity, or denaturation of the solute . Many researchers have studied the effect of the feed concentration on the UF and MF membrane fouling . During water treatment applications, a few investigations have been attempted to study the effects of the ionic strength on colloidal fouling in both dead‐end and cross‐flow modes .…”

Membrane‐based separation processes are very susceptible to flux decline because of concentration polarization and fouling problems. Despite the immense applications of low‐pressure driven microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes in various fields, fouling is considered a major negative aspect, and it renders the membrane with a reduced lifetime. The important membrane properties, hydrophilicity, charge, and morphology mainly gained by the membrane during its formation process are considered to be deciding factors in fouling. In this review, we spotlight the effects of the hydrophilicity, charge, and morphology on MF and UF fouling, the principles of the most frequently used instrumentation techniques in predicting these factors, and measures that can be taken for fouling control. The review also focuses on the UF and MF membrane modification techniques used to attain high antifouling characteristics. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015, 132, 42042.

“…Milk membrane filtration systems are being exploited by the dairy industry for fractionation of milk proteins and removal of microorganisms (i.e., cold pasteurization; Beolchini, 2005;Hoffmann et al, 2006;Hurt and Barbano, 2010;Piry et al, 2012;Adams and Barbano, 2013). Skim milk is often used for milk membrane filtration processes, and filtration of fat-containing dairy fluids is mainly limited to defatting of whey (Golbandi et al 2013). However, membrane filtration has been applied to separation of milk fat populations into small and large globules by MF (Goudedranche et al, 2000;Michalski et al, 2006) and for separation of anhydrous milk fat into fractions with different melting points (Abbas et al, 2006).…”

Milk fat globule membranes (MFGM) sourced in buttermilk have gained recent interest given their nutritional value and functional properties. However, production of isolated MFGM has been challenging given their size similarity with casein micelles, which limits attempts toward fractionation by size exclusion techniques. Therefore, the hypothesis underpinning this study is that the removal of proteins from cream before butter-making facilitates MFGM isolation. As such, milk fat globules were separated from raw whole milk via microfiltration (1.4-µm pore diameter and 0.005-m filtration surface area) by using 3 diafiltration media; namely, skim milk ultrafiltration permeate, saline, and water. Their effects on the stability of the milk fat globules and protein permeation was elucidated. Whereas a substantial reduction in protein concentration was achieved with all diafiltration media (~90% reduction), water and saline produced negligible membrane fouling with better filtration performance. Moreover, diafiltration with skim milk ultrafiltration permeate exhibited reduced permeate flux. Colloidal stability of the resultant milk decreased with all diafiltration solutions due to changing composition and reduced apparent viscosity. Overall, microfiltration was found to be an efficient method for separation of milk fat globules from whole milk, leading to increased MFGM fragment concentration in buttermilk dry matter, thus making it more suitable for industrial utilization.

“…9. However, this permeance result is about twice as high as was observed in other studies [1,[28][29][30][31][32], because the permeability of the tubular-type ceramic membrane is improved by increasing the overall pore size in the support, as referenced above.…”
